I joined a backyard wrestling fed.

[Freddy4190]

HOLD UP! It's not on mattresses and stuff like most backyard wrestling feds. There's gonna be an actual full-size legit wrestling ring.

I'm getting training from my two friends who actually have already gone through wrestling school and passed. I'm excited.

They're booking me as the monster heel of the company, ODW (Old Dominion Wrestling)
I'm gonna be in quick squash matches, annihilate my opponents and continue about my day. I'm by far the biggest guy there. 6'8," 395 lbs.

Here is what I have so far.
"River City Psycho" Adrian Slayer

Here is my theme:

I can't wait. I already started a bit of training. I figure it's a good way to get into shape and learn the craft and whatnot.

Good luck. Hope you don't lose too many brain cells.

Why don't you actually...GO to legitimate fake wrestling school?

 

[Remy LaCroix]

Neat fed name.

Can't afford it, to be quite honest.

 

[The Butcher]

I know it's cliche, but at that size you really should consider using a splash for a finisher.

I was considering it, but they wanna see me like manhandle and destroy faces, so the spinning elbow/forearm is what i'm going with for now.

 

[Steamboat Ricky]

Do you have health insurance?

 

[Freddy4190]

Do you have health insurance?

I do not. It's not gonna be like.. all chairs and violence and shit. Just wrestling.

If anyone else has seen CM Punk's RF Video shoot from '04 then you'll know his response to "passing" wrestling school.

If you haven't then I'll just put it like this - Punk wants your friends to break their necks.

 

[Steamboat Ricky]

I do not. It's not gonna be like.. all chairs and violence and shit. Just wrestling.

No one has ever gotten hurt doing fake wrestling moves.



Just saying man, if you're wanting to actually wrestle, you'll need to do real training at a school that is reputable. You'll have to do it at some point regardless if you want to pursue a career in the field.

Punk was an untrained backyard wrestler. Bit of a hypocrite, no?

Disclaimer: I've no idea what he says in that video.

It was the "passed" wrestling school thing. Some dude in CZW got into it with Punk and said in his argument he "passed" wrestling school and is just as good as Punk, who replied by saying you don't "pass" wrestling school because your always supposed to be learning.

Yeah, I know. Right now this is just for fun, to get me started, I suppose.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

Don't die.


Seriously be careful

 

[Turd Ferguson]

People actually still do backyard wrestling?

Anyway, you're an idiot.

 

[George Steele's Barber]

If you want to get heat tell the fan(s) you are Claire Lynch's cousin and you think the smarks should have treated her better.

Good luck. Keep us posted.

Pics and vids Freddy, pics and vids.

 

[smizzy]

Are you willing to take a bump, big guy?

 

[Mr. Artistic guy]

You are fucking huge man. Advice - work slowly. That is all.

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

Sell nothing, do verte-breakers a lot, cut screaming Warrioresque promos, steal everyones moves...I just maybe high right now.

 

[Mr. Artistic guy]

No but seriously. Work slowly, don't sell for shit, make every single move count, really work the fans, and have a great finisher.

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

And if you need a British manager...

I would also, as everyone already has, suggest some kind of basic training at the very least. Also, work on your cardio and flexibility. Big guys who can pull off long matches and work faster paces are by far the more entertaining; Vader, Andre in his prime, Big Show in the early years, etc. Just be careful. Don't blade for any reason at all at the backyard level. Even if you "really know him" and he's a good friend, do NOT blade. There's no reason to put yourself at risk against guys for a few dozen people in a back yard.

Don't do bear hugs. They're boring as shit. Running splashes are fun to watch from big guys. Anything that makes you look like you're destroying your smaller opponents. Seriously, just watch Vader videos. And don't try to do a moonsault until you have somebody legit to help you learn it. Again, not for a dozen people in a back yard.

Finisher/signature idea - work on your balance and learn how to do a handstand on the top turnbuckle. Do that before splash the hell out of people. It'll build anticipation, and people love counting along with delayed attacks. Proof: Michael Elgin. Actually, just watch Michael Elgin videos.
